TACO PIZZA Recipe

A change from the ordinary pizza. This colorful version puts fresh vegetables, cheese and a savory meat sauce on top of a crispy cornmeal crust. You will have a hard time eating just one slice. Adapted from Gladys Shaffer's recipe post in the Quick Cooking Magazine of June/July of 2002.

How to make it

Preheat oven at 400.

In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and butter; mix well. Press onto the bottom and sides of a 12-inch or 14-inch pizza pan.
